The trick is that no matter what two digit number you pick when you subtract the two digits making up that number from it you will get a number divisible by nine. Look at the potential gifts. All those for numbers divisible by nine are identical.

Examples: 33-3-3 = 27---------- 34-3-4 = 27
46-4-6 = 36---------- 48-4-8 = 36

Yeah, but did you know that....

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
